Editing

I am now into the process of doing some editing of my string quartet as feedback starts coming in from the players. Particularly in the first movement even my eyebrows were raised at a couple of things I wrote, as regards their technical feasibility. I put them in the first draft anyway just in case they weren't that hard, one can always pare back. From the comments I am getting there are certainly a few things I have written that are either impossible or very impractical. With the latter I would much sooner find a solution that keeps the musical integrity and intention but is technically facilitated so the player can put more energy into interpretation and sound rather than surmounting an extreme technical challenge for no sake but its own.
